Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520

I am feeling generous today and giving the overall light a 3. But let me break that down for you. Light Quality - 5 Ability to wake me up - 5 Table stability - 0 Intuitiveness - 0 Industrial design - (-1) Longevity - 0 Modern features (Alexa controlled, or smartphone, etc) - 0 High-level takeaway: t...

I had heard of the term "Wake up light," but had little idea about the item itself or functionality. I wanted to take the time to contribute to this review so that others who are considering this product (either this model or another one) will have some insight on what choice to make. As I titled my...

I love the idea of this alarm clock & lamp, and the design is beautiful. Very aesthetic. But when it comes to actually using the thing, it comes up short. First, be aware that this thing is huge. It will take up quite the footprint on your nightstand. I suppose the size is warranted, however, becaus...

I had high hopes for this product, since dawn simulation and waking to light was what I was after. But I ended up returning it because:

1) When fully on, it wasn't bright enough to wake me and didn't feel like the sun but more like a bright flashlight.

2) The controls on this were REALLY annoying ...

I researched these clocks to death and finally decided on this one because reviews say it simulates the real sun the best….and it does. It is amazing and the light with the red tones is so soothing to go to bed to and wake up to. However, it’s not user friendly. I spent time on reading instructions ...

I love this sunrise simulator alarm clock. About 30 min before the alarm goes off, the light gradually brightens. I can hit snooze (up to an hour if I'm really tired), reset for the next morning, or turn it off. It also offers a radio option, but no bluetooth or wifi. There is a bedside lamp option ...

For the price, I’m disappointed it stopped working after 4 years. I researched troubleshooting and repair steps - they are not many. The completely enclosed design means it’s very difficult to open up. The light inconsistently stopped turning on for the alarm feature, and when I unplugged it to rese...

My brother has the Beddi nightstand LED clock. It is controllablevia Bluetooth, which would make the Philips light far more usable, as the buttons aren't intuitive, as I often turn on the radio trying to turn off the alarm. The high cost of this light should include include control via Bluetooth. Th...

The light and design and sounds are really cool. But how can you make an alarm clock without a battery backup. I bought this without knowing it, didn't think I'd have to ask. I have to set a second alarm on my phone just in the rare instance that the power goes out. If it had a backup, it would be a...

works fine but difficult to set all of the options. Philips has a fine app for their Hue products, but this is not a Hue apparently. We change our wakeup and go to sleep times frequently, and the on-device menus are not at all efficient (particularly at midnight). A cell phone app would be so much b...
